Keep Your Home Cool and Go Green with the Right Roofing

April 16, 2015 by Jesse Curry

Did you know that you can save money and help the environment at the same time? Do your Sarasota roofers know that by installing the right roofing system on your home, energy-efficient materials can decrease your energy consumption? Cool roofs are designed to reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat, thus naturally cooling the inside of your home.

Benefits of a Cool Roof
Roofs can be made cooler with the help of special coatings, modified sheet membranes, or reflective tiles or shingles, such as Timberline® Cool Series Shingles from GAF®. If you choose to go green and install a cool roof, here are a few more bonuses that you can expect:

√ Reduced energy bills because you can also lessen the use of your air-conditioning. According to the Cool Roof Rating Council, you can save up to 15% from your energy consumption if you use cool shingles.
√ Improved indoor comfort, especially in rooms without cooling systems. With the Cool Series shingles, your attic absorbs less heat thanks to Timberline’s reflective qualities.
√ Decreased roof temperatures, which translate to a longer roof life span.

By choosing the greener option now, you’ll actually save more money in the long run. If you’re worried about the cost of roof replacement, you should consider the long-term value that your cool roof will bring.
